AuSable Valley Central School District
“Matthew Rogers, director of school counseling, (notes) the prevalence of what he calls ‘situational
mental health issues. He explains that the counselors and psychologists in his district deal with situational
depression and anxiety, the bereavement issues, the loss of a parent, things like that. These kids may not
necessarily have mental health concerns. A parent has just died and they’re depressed, and they’re
working through that.
“’Or it’s working kids through situations that cause anger or resentment or depression,’ Matthew continues. ‘Things are bad at home, mom or dad lost a job, and there’s a lot of anxiety in that regard. A lot of our counseling is done in those day-to-day situational things that pop up. Kids breaking up with their girlfriend or boyfriend – that’s traumatic. Having trouble with peers may bring about those situational mental health issues.’” Grondahl (2008)
